Officers save man's life after noticing his car was minutes from exploding (Video)

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - Dramatic body camera footage shows how two Henry County police officers saved a man from a burning car.

The Dec. 3, 2018, video Channel 2 Action News obtained shows that, with smoke coming from the inside of the driver's car and flames shooting out from underneath it, the man trapped inside could not get out by himself.

Henry County police officers Kelly Horne and William Palmer spotted the car on fire along Highway 81 in McDonough and knew they had to act fast.

"It's a pretty intense moment," Horne said. "I was afraid that it's going to blow up as it's going down the road and someone else is going to get injured."

The officers used a fire extinguisher before dragging the driver out of the car. It wasn't long until the entire car exploded.
